this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Stinchcomb is a smart guy, he'll figure it out.
He may not even want to go play elsewhere.
Either way, we wish him all the best.

Hope you have gotten some love in return.

I too think that he hasn't quite recovered from what seemingly was much worse of an injury than was described last year. That coupled with the fact that you have two young linemen in Strief and Brown fighting for the same spot.

As some have already mentioned, I think these factors along with Mickey and Sean's respect for Stinch caused them to make this love right now. Payton even said it in his presser yesterday...something to the effect of moving this team in the direction of youth at this position...better for both parties to do it now, as opposed to drawing it out.

It wouldn't surprise me at all to see Stinch retire now. I think even he realizes that this is it for him, and he's seen his better days. He's a realist, and a good guy, and I wish him all the best.
